PYGAIN INITIATIVE
PYGAIN (Project Youth for Global Awareness & Interchange Network) is an Education Initiative between India & the United States, created by Taj Global Understanding. PYGAIN will link for schools in both India and the United States, with a goal of creating awareness and understanding of culture, as well as to relevant issues facing both countries. The United States is the most powerful democracy while India is the largest democracy in the World; however, outwardly both cultures are very different. Through a program such as PYGAIN, a bridge will be created between both nations.
